According to the official history, Santa Anna tried to transform Mexico from a federal republic into a centralized republic, removing sovereignty among its former constituent states. This angered Texans and Tejanos who fought and won for their independence.

However, the motives of the Texan Revolution (1835-1836) have a much darker origin: in reality, they fought for their right to keep slaves.
